Daisy Daily for the Week of November 5, 2018

Afternoon pre-schoolers and their teachers joined our 

school community in the parade on October 31.

Daisy Friends,

Here's to a busy week ahead!

• Monday, Nov. 5, features our Early Childhood Forum, with set-up in the Cafe beginning at 3:15 pm.  The forum runs from 5-8 pm, featuring keynote speaker Scarlett Lewis, founder of the "Choose Love" Movement, dedicated to her son, Jesse, who lost his life in the Sandy Hook tragedy.  There will be eight break-out sessions after the keynote speaker/dinner, with a record crowd expected of about 160 attendees.  This is a fabulous event for our community and many thanks to Alyssa Lindquist and our staff members who are involved in its success!
• Tuesday, Nov. 6, is a Professional Day for staff, with no school for students.  We have Science PD and PMT Training at Daisy as well as Regional PD and other PD throughout the district.  Agendas have been distributed to all disciplines involved.
• Wednesday, Nov. 7, features our regularly-scheduled Staff Meeting, but the focus will be on well-being and stress-relief.  Come prepared to experience some fun with colleagues.  No laptops or materials required.
• We will observe Veterans Day on Monday, November 12, by honoring our Veterans with a school-wide assembly at 1 pm in the Gym.  We will have invitations ready to go home to families and Veterans this week.
• Please note that Wednesday, November 14 is an early dismissal day (1 pm) for Professional Development.  We have an amazing opportunity with Pat Ciccone joining us to facilitate an afternoon PD session re: the Adverse Childhood Experience Study (ACES).
• Our Annual 5K/Fun Run DAISY DASH will be held Saturday, November 17!
